3 Ready-to-Use Ideas and Activities is was noun proper noun action verb The activities in this book have been developed to help students master the basic skills necessary to succeed in grammar. These skills include learning about basic parts of speech, sentence components, and other word-study skills such as homophones and homographs. The activities have been sequenced to help ensure successful completion of the assigned tasks, thus building positive self-esteem, as well as the self-confidence students need to meet academic challenges. The activities may be used by themselves, as supplemental activities, or as enrichment material for a grammar program. As you read through the activities listed below and go through this book, remember that all children learn at their own rate. Although repetition is important, it is critical that we keep sight of the fact that it is equally important to build children s self-esteem and self-confidence to become successful learners. If you are working with a child at home, set up a quiet, comfortable environment where you will work. Make it a special time to which you each look forward. Do only a few activities at a time and end each session on a positive note. Flash Card Ideas Cut apart the flash cards provided in the back of this book and use them for basic skill and enrichment activities. You can use them in the following ways or create your own way to use them. Write some or all of the flash card words where they can be seen and divide students into groups. As students look at the list of words, describe a word from the list. Begin with the part of speech, and then use synonyms, antonyms, spelling characteristics, a definition, how the word makes you feel, what kind of emotion it evokes, or anything else you can think of that describes the word. The team who correctly guesses the word first wins one point. After each word is guessed correctly, cross it off the list and go on to another. You can either have the group try to guess the word together or rotate guessers, giving everyone a chance. Continue playing to a certain number or until only one word remains. 2 CD Carson-Dellosa

4 Ready-to-Use Ideas and Activities Create a bingo sheet with five rows and five columns of blank squares. Write FREE in the middle square. Make enough copies to give one to each student. Write the flash card words as a list where students can see them. Have students choose 24 words from the list and write the words in the empty spaces of their bingo cards. When students have finished filling out their bingo cards, make the flash cards into a deck. Call out the words one at a time. If a student has the word on his card, he should mark an X through the word to cross it out. The student who first crosses out five words in a row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally wins the game when she shouts, Bingo! To extend the game, continue playing until a student crosses out all of the words on his bingo sheet. Give each student three or four cards. Call out a part of speech (noun, verb, adjective, etc.) and have students hold up words that belong to that category. Have students categorize the words into designated groups. Use the categorized groups to create sentences. Have students alphabetize the cards as they read the words aloud. adverb gently well an good could most CD Carson-Dellosa 3
